We had a great match this morning and now rank 37th. If we do as well in our last match, we could end up being chosen as an ally for the finals. We did pretty well yesterday and the team definitely looks strong, but we had the misfortune of being turned over a couple of times by some big bully robots. We added a small leg to the arm this morning in hopes that we might be more able to right ourselves if it happens again.
Getting here before 8:00 every morning and staying 'til after 6 is a pretty grueling schedule for a group of kids suffering from jet lag. A couple of kids had to take a little nap break yesterday. Poor Raul and Kim went straight to the hotel and skipped dinner last night. We all had a hard time waking up this morning at 6:30.
It'll be nice to sleep in tomorrow. We have a little time to hang around before flying out. I'll try to get some pictures uploaded while we're waiting to leave. The worst is going to be having to be at school Monday morning!
Congratulations for making it the Nationals, I am very proud of you all. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to do what you all have set your mind to and have done. This tells you what you can do if you set your mind to it. Good luck to all of you in everything that you attempt to accomplish in the future.
